Tips for Choosing Colors

When you click on one of the color options, you can easily choose or customize a color.

Use the Color Picker

1. Click Pick Color.
2. Enter a HEX code if you already know the exact color.
   or
   Use the Color Wheel to visually select a color. 
   Below the color wheel, you will also see different shades of the selected color that you can select.
3. Click Pick to apply the color.
4. Click Select.

Use Recently Used Colors

If you want to reuse a color you selected earlier:

1. Click Recently Used.
2. Up to six recently used colors are displayed. Click one of the colors to select it.
3. Click Select.

Tip: Reusing colors from Recently Used helps keep your floor plans consistent and makes it faster to apply the same colors across different elements.

Background Color

Think of the background as the color of the page that the floor plan will be printed on. You can choose a color, or choose the transparent option if you plan to place the floor plan on top of another image. In this example, we've used a teal background color.

 

If you want to have the color as the complete background of the letterhead, that's possible, too: Tick the checkbox Use on 2D Letterhead.

Text Color

RoomSketcher Pro and Team subscribers can choose a color for text such as room names, room sizes, text labels and furniture labels.

Block Arrow Fill Color

RoomSketcher Pro and Team subscribers can choose the fill color of any block arrow you have added to your floor plan. In this example, we've used a teal color. To learn how to add a block arrow, see Add an Entrance/Block Arrow. 

 

Arrow and Line Color
